'Can you help us?" asks Julie, "We are lost. We must get to the town."
"Yes," says the boy, "I know. Big bird go down. Big crash. Many
people dead. You many problem. You not know forest. Very danger."
"Can you help us! Do you know the forest?" asks Neil, anxiously.
"Can you guide us to the town?"
"Yes, Nutu know forest. But town very far. You must go big
mountains. Many snow. Many cold."
"Can you take us? Can you guide us through the 'big mountains'?"
asks Julie.
The boy is silent for a moment, thinking. Then he says, "Perhaps
I help you. Now you sleep. I also sleep. Maybe tomorrow we go
big mountains."
I hope that he decides to help us," whispers Julie to Neil as
they prepare to sleep. "He's our only chance."
Then they wake up the next day, they look for their new friend but he isn't there.
"What are we going to do now?" says Julie, desperately.
"We must try to reach the mountains without him," replies Neil, angry.
They put their things into the backpack and Neil checks the compass to decide which
direction to take. They walk for an hour, then Julie's leg starts to hurt and she wants to stop.
"Let's sit in that clearing over there," she says.
They look for a comfortable place to sit.
"Neil, look! Someone has made a fire here recently!" cries Julie, pointing to some black ashes
on the ground.
Neil looks around. "Julie," he replies slowly,

This is the place where we were last night. These are ashes from our fire."
"You mean...?
"Yes, we have walked in a circle this morning. We're in the same
place again!"
The two friends are desperate. Suddenly they hear a movement
in the bushes nearby. They get up quickly. Nutu comes out of
the bushes towards them, smiling.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen," he says, offering some big
green bananas. "Here is breakfast! You eat. After we go forest.
We find way to big snow mountains. I help you."

CHAPTER7
Nutu's Village
Neil and Julie follow Nutu into the heart of the rain forest.
The Pygmy boy is fit and walks quickly. He never falls.
The two British children go very slowly. They come to a river. Nutu tells them to sit down. He climbs onto a big rock and looks down into the water. He doesn't move for a long time, then suddenly he throws his spear into the water. He jumps in to fetch it.
A big brown fish is stuck on the point!
"Lunch!" laughs Nutu.
They cook the fish on the fire and, while they eat, Julie asks Nutu about life in the rain forest.
"Do you live in the forest, Nutu?
"Yes. I live in little house in forest. My father, mother, grandfather live there too."
"Is it near here!" asks Neil.
"Mmm. In Big One forest," replies the boy, vaguely.
"Is your house near the white man's village?" asks Julie, hopefully.

"No. White man not know my house, my village." Then he continues,
'My grandfather very old, very clever man. I think he know way to big snow mountains. You talk my grandfather."
They walk for many hours that afternoon. They are now in a very old part of the jungle. They are surrounded by ancient trees that are covered in thick creepers and rare orchids. It is dark

and cool on the floor of the forest. The children see many monkeys
and there are beautiful coloured parrots everywhere. In a clearing they see a group of chimpanzees, playing. Later Nutu shows them giant squirrels that jump from tree ro tree.
In the evening they arrive at Nutu's village, a group of about ten huts next to a small river. The huts are made of branches and leaves.
It's difficult to see them in the dense jungle. Smoke comes from a fire in the middle of the huts. The Pygmies are cooking a small deer for dinner. It smells good.
An old man comes out of a hut. He is very small and thin and very wrinkled but his eyes are clear and intelligent. He speaks
a strange language that the children don't understand. Nutu translates for them.
"My grandfather say you sleep here. Later perhaps we talk about big snow mountains.
"Why perhaps?"' asks Neil. "Doesn't he know the way?
"He know but he not want tell you. He say very dangerous. Strange things there."
"We must convince him to tell us. It's very important," says Julie.
"l know," says Nutu. "Have patience. Later I explain to him —
now we eat.
Everyone comes to eat near the fire. The Pygmies are clean people and do not like to sit on the ground. The adults sit on
bunches of sticks, the children sit on big leaves. They share their food with Julie and Neil.

The meat is good. There are strange vegetables too, cooked in the ashes of the fire.
Tastes like potato," whispers Neil.
"Yes, but there's no salt!" replies Julie. But they are hungry and eat everything, even the hard, dry nuts that the Pygmies eat for "dessert".
